About book If There Be Thorns / Seeds Of Yesterday (2010)
So I picked up this book because I was looking for a book that would last me awhile, ( I usually finish other books within a day or two) At first I was a little disturbed at the book, but when everything rolled together in the end and started to make sense, it all became very real for me. In fact, as I was finishing the book I was sitting in the living room with my father who questioned my tears when Christopher died... it took me an hour to explain the whole plot to him but it was well worth it. The ending of this book left me feeling torn apart and broken. I don't know about you guys but, did anyone else have questions? Like who paralysed Jory and wanted him dead? What about Joel? Did Bart ever find anyone? Or become a decent person? Overall I really enjoyed reading and living this book. These two books were ok. I started to get really disgusted with the family. I mean how nasty can one person be before family members totally write them off? Bart is a disgusting human being in both books, but as an adult in Seeds of Yesterday he truly is deplorable. How many times can a person say/yell relationship damaging statements in the morning and by dinner it's as if all is forgiven? Bart at one point basically tells Jory on Christmas morning, that he hates him, oh and by the way I was banging your wife because you are a cripple. Really? And Jory dismisses this as Bart being Bart? Unfortunately there are hundreds of these types of situations in this book involving all characters and it's disappointing how an entire family tolerates it. Then suddenly at the end, Chris dies in a tragic accident and Bart is a preacher and all is wonderful with the world. I just don't get it...I know Barts salvation is based on his mother ending her relationship with Chris, her brother. But instead of leaving the house, the insanity, and abuse, Cathy puts up with it and continuously thinks, Bart will eventually come around. It's aggrivating to no end. Just my opinion.
